6th Grade Science 102-102 Assignments

For our final weeks of science we are going to focus on Astronomy! We will be learning more about the planets by working in groups to create a Slideshow, Poster, and an Activity! 

The link below will lead you to NASA’s website to help you with your research. The slides below are a template you can use for the project. Please see my teacher example on Google Classroom for help or inspiration. 

Your group will be responsible for turning in all of the items! Be sure to add EVERYONE’s name to the project to ensure everyone will get credit.

We will present this the last week of class during science!

Be sure to complete all of the following steps and submit the Google Form: 

1. Go to the Minecraft Education Link Below to see the details of the world and activities.
2. Watch the video below and answer the question in the Google Form. 
3.  Describe your plan for the Orangutan Reserve in the Google Form.
4. Build your Orangutan Reserve and screenshot it. Add the pictures to the Google Form. 
5. Submit the Form and this assignment.

Use the instructions in the slides to make a monster.

Please complete this in class Wednesday April 20, 2022. We will be working on it during class on campus so make sure to join us on zoom!

Please read ALL of the following directions BEFORE starting the lab. 

The virtual dissection has 4 parts and a Google Form to complete as you work through each part. You NEED to open both the Virtual Dissection Link and the Google Form. It is easier to do both at the same time than try to complete them separately. 


Once complete you will need to read the text attached and answer the questions to prepare for our analysis assignment tomorrow. 

If you would like to see REAL PHOTOS (actual photos of a dissection) the link is attached below as "Frog Dissection - Flickr." THESE ARE PHOTOS FROM AN ACTUAL DISSECTIONS, so please only view if you would like to see them. https://www.flickr.com/photos/biologycorner/sets/72157678207495440/

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, and includes every living thing – from humans, plants and animals to microbes and fungi. Biodiversity is critical to the health of ecosystems, and also to many of the systems that help humans lead healthy lives – from pollinating fruits and vegetables to providing cures to diseases and balancing food chains to keep pests under control. 


Minecraft Challenge Directions: 
Launch the starter world and teleport to a Minecraft biome. 
Build an aquatic or terrestrial ecosystem including plant and animal species. 
Document your ecosystem with the Book & Quill (found in your inventory)
Then remove one type of plant or animal. Rebuild the area to illustrate how the ecosystem would be affected by the extinction of one critical species. 
Document the changes to your ecosystem with the Book & Quill (found in your inventory)
Extensions: 
Choose an animal from your biome and create a presentation about it on Google Slides.
Use the Book & Quill as a science journal to describe what the animals do in this biome.
Research your chosen biome. Show on a world map where this biome exists in real life.
Use images from your Minecraft world to create a Google Slides Presentation to promote your new animal preserve.
Let me know when you finish so I can help you upload your world!

We are learning all about cells and their functions throughout this unit in sixth grade science. Each of you will create you own model of a cell! You may choose either a Plant Cell or an Animal Cell. We will be building our Cell Models in Minecraft Education Edition. 


Remember: Minecraft Education Edition is a fun application that we often use for gaming. HOWEVER, it is also a useful science education tool. It is important that you are able to use it for both reasons. We can and should have fun using Minecraft, but it is important that you are following ALL directions and building what is asked of you. Please be creative while making sure you are still meeting expectations.
